Best Hotels in Dallas/Fort Worth

Omni Dallas Hotel

Owned by the City of Dallas, this hotel is a real eye-catcher, inside and out. In the evenings, it's impossible to miss the light show that transforms the hotel's curved exterior into a moving work of art. Connected via sky bridge to the Dallas Convention Center, it's convenient for anyone visiting for a trade show, but also luxurious and well-appointed enough for leisure travelers too. Featuring 1,001 guest rooms, 67 luxury suites and three presidential suites, the modern interiors are a welcome change from the cookie-cutter décor of the typical convention hotel. Floor-to-ceiling windows, TVs built in to the bathroom mirrors, and key card-activated light and energy conservation are all unexpected perks. Built to meet LEED Gold certification standards, the property is eco-friendly to boot. For those planning large-scale events, the 110,000 square feet of meeting and ballroom space will more than accommodate most needs. Throughout the hotel, including the guest rooms, the works of local artists are displayed. On-site Mokara Spa, a heated rooftop terrace pool deck and a fitness center with downtown views each provide different types of escapes. Multiple on-site restaurants (including legendary Bob's Steak & Chop House) satisfy cravings any time of day.

When contemplating the origins of the best vodkas, places such as the former Soviet Union, Eastern Europe, Finland and other chilly climes come to mind. So what's a top vodka doing deep in the heart of Texas?

On the bottle of this inventive brew, you'll find a hand-scrawled "Weedwacker" label hastily pasted over the word "Lawnmower" — an allusion to the fact that the beer shares a recipe with Saint Arnold's best-selling Fancy Lawnmower.
